Joseph Abboud and Essential Amenities, Inc. have entered into a new licensing agreement to manufacture and market a completely new collection of personal care hotel amenities created especially for the guest room. The new products help to support the Joseph Abboud brand that represents a modern American lifestyle with a sophisticated sense of color and texture. Updated yet classic, bringing new definition to things familiar.

The hotel guest amenities include facial and exfoliating bath soaps as well as enriched shampoo, fortifying conditioner, moisturizing body lotion, and silky bath gel. The fragrance, which combines an invigorating blend of black pepper and amber is infused in the soaps and liquids, embodying a rich, warm blend. A combination of coriander, cinnamon, bergamot, ginger, oakmoss, and patchouli makes up the scent. The soaps are made with natural vegetable oil and certified exfoliant. The liquids are paraben free and contain no sulfates or phthalates. All of the items are cruelty free, not tested on animals, and are produced and packaged with the environment in mind.

“We are excited about our continued partnership with Joseph Abboud,” says Michael Ware, President of Essential Amenities. “These toiletries were especially created for hotel guests and are available for immediate shipment.”

About Joseph Abboud

Since the age of sixteen, Joseph Abboud has been passionate about fashion. He started his career in menswear at Louis of Boston and later Polo Ralph Lauren. In 1987, Joseph Abboud launched his own eponymous label. Shortly after its debut, Abboud was accorded numerous honors including the distinction of being the only designer to have received the coveted Menswear Designer of the Year twice in a row (1989 & 1990) from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Other awards and honors include The Cutty Sark Award for Most Promising Menswear Designer in 1988, the first Woolmark Award for Distinguished Fashion in 1989 and again in March of 1993. Numerous other prestigious awards have followed including Person of the Year from the American Apparel & Footwear Association and the Lifetime Achievement Award from MR magazine in 2016.

Abboud began working with Tailored Brands, Inc. (NYSE: TLRD) as Chief Creative Director in December 2012. Abboud was reunited with his namesake brand in August 2013 when Tailored Brands Inc. acquired JA Holding Inc., the parent company of the celebrated American clothing brand, Joseph Abboud. Abboud re-launched his label, reestablishing the brand as a sophisticated modern-American lifestyle collection. The Joseph Abboud designer collection launched in October 2014 on JosephAbboud.com and is now available at the Joseph Abboud Flagship Store in New York City.
